The 2015 IRUPA Awards took place, last night, at the Doubletree Hotel in Dublin. The big winners on the night were Paul O’Connell [Players’ Player and Supporters’ Player of the Year] and Robbie Henshaw [Young Player and Best Try of the Year].
The ceremony was attended by players, past and present, from all the Irish provinces and, my, did they turn out in style.
Here’s a selection of the best pictures and tweets.
